ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To assess the 12-month safety and effectiveness of paclitaxel drug-coated balloon (DCB) for the treatment of patients with isolated chronic occlusions in popliteal arteries and evaluate the risk factors of lesion reocclusion. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
From January 2018 to December 2019, DCB angioplasty was performed in 54 limbs with isolated chronic popliteal artery occlusion of 48 patients (32 men) with a mean age of 71.5 ± 12.1 (range, 50-97) years, mean occlusive length of 6.3 ± 3.0 (range, 1-15) cm, and mean preoperative ankle-brachial index (ABI) of 0.42 ± 0.12 (range, 0.19-0.58). A total of 18.5% (10/54) of lesions were long-segment occlusions involving the entire popliteal artery from P1 to P3. Twenty seven of 54 limbs presented with critical limb ischemia (CLI) with a mean ABI of 0.33 ± 0.10 (range, 0.19-0.51). The primary endpoint was primary patency rate at 12 months. The secondary endpoints included technical success rate, 1-year secondary patency rate, limb salvage rate, and improvement in clinical symptoms. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to determine the predictors of lesion reocclusion.RESULTS:
The technical success rate was 85.2% (46/54), and bailout stenting was performed in 14.8% (8/54) of lesions. The 12-month primary and secondary patency rates by the Kaplan-Meier estimate were 72.6% and 88.3%, respectively. Two thirds of the reocclusions occurred within 6 months after intervention. No 30-day mortality was observed. The limb salvage rate was 100% during a mean follow-up period of 13 months, and all minor amputations occurred in the limbs presented with CLI. The mean ABI increased from 0.42 before the procedure to 0.73 after the procedure. Patients younger than 60 years and the lesions exhibiting long-segment occlusions present as trending risk factors for lesion reocclusion.CONCLUSIONS:
Paclitaxel DCB angioplasty is safe and effective in managing isolated chronic occlusion of popliteal arteries. Younger patients and long-segment occlusions of the popliteal artery are associated with a relatively higher reocclusion rate after the procedure.
